I find life is never still. I see everything is moving and changing all around us, everywhere, all the time. And we are part of that.

That's all I know: impermanence––nothing waits.

I notice life offering itself to us again and again. I'm drawn to this dynamic nature and its shifting.

Often, I find life overwhelming but drawing is a way for me to be porous to this world.

I choose to draw because I love the physicality of it; of making and leaving a mark. I find it sensuous. 

With ageing, I recognise an urgency in my work, also an exhilaration at this way to experience being alive. I'm looking not to explain, not to capture, but simply to carry moments in my work of significant encounter as I go though life. In trying to bring all of this to the page, it follows that incompleteness is an inevitable part of my work.
